Worth it?

I just bought this movie off ebay for $17, including s/h. DVD, widescreen, which I prefer, and no Spanish subtitles. Is it worth that?

I'm not usually a fan of happy endings, so a sad ending won't bother me.

I heard the negative reviews, I also heard a lot of positives. Suffice to say that this is one of the most moving films I have ever seen. For the last 20 minutes I just could not move.

Apparently there's a leak

I think this movie has got to be one of the most touching and moving films I've ever seen... It's completely worth the money that you paid for it, and well... you'll just have to watch the movie, but all I can say is that it's amazing.

I bought The Brave recently, and have to say i was disappointed. It showed flashes of brilliance, and the subject matter was extremely intriguing, but it lapsed into melodrama far too often. This is something i did not expect from Depp, one of the most consistently brilliant actors of any generation. I went from watching Dead Man to this, and it just didn't match up. I think he should stick to acting.

It did dissapoint me a little bit, because of the melodrama, but all in all, it was definately worth the money. The only reason it dissapointed me, was because I had such insanely high expectations, since Johnny Depp is such a brilliant actor. Iggy Pop did an awesome job with the score, though. That was no dissapointment at all.

I wasn't at all disappointed... I thought it was brilliant. Other actors who have tried to direct films have done MUCH worse than this, so I wasn't expecting it to be amazing, but it turns out I was wrong.

Here, the DVD (16:9/DD5.1, plus trailers, interviews, behind the scenes documentary, etc.) costs more or less the equivalent of 10 USD, and the film is barely worth that.
